New Home Page
Thu, 11 Feb 1999, 11:48 pmUNDER CONSTRUCTIONYou can obtain a sneak preview of the draft ITA home page at: http://cygnus.uwa.edu.au/~gmalcolm/ita/newhome.html It may seem rather back to front to put up the window dressing while data appears to still be out of date, but the new database is running and i now just (just? JUST? hahahaha *manic laughter*) have to link it up to this home page design.The new design moves more information to the front page. This saves people having to click through several pages looking for things. I hope, once the up-to-date database is plugged in, that this will make the site much easier to use.I'm looking for feedback on the layout as it stands.Things to do:"Find a Theatre Company" will allow search on suburb, street, venue, etc not just "name"Clicking on "Find a Theatre Company" will be bring up a list of clubs"Script Library" searches will search both Title AND AuthorClicking on "Mailing List" will take you to the egroups websiteThe three message boards Classified, Gossip and Reviews will be concatenated into one "News and Views" boardThe titles of the most recent 5-10 messages posted to the "News and Views" board will be listed in the space providedClicking on "News and Views" will take you to the message boardPlays currently in production will appear under "What's On"Clicking on "What's On" will take you to a _current_ listingAuditions will list the most _current_ audition noticesPhew! It's late.Night all!Have fun with the new page.CheersGrant

Still needs to be tidied up, but it's getting there.And just to show you how messy things can really get:http://www.cygnus.uwa.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/gmalcolm/bbs/test.cgiurgh... ugly.Things may not be ready for next week, but it will be close!Cheers, Grant
